Burning With The Holy Fire | Rev. Matt Reynolds | It's Elementary Podcast Ep. 25

In this episode of It’s Elementary, Dr. David Watson and Dr. Jessica LaGrone are joined by Rev. Matt Reynolds, President of Spirit and Truth Ministries and alumnus of Asbury Theological Seminary, for a candid and compelling conversation about renewal, evangelism, and the cost of real obedience to Jesus. Rev. Reynolds shares his personal journey from local church pastor to renewal leader, reflecting on the moment he realized he was preaching the gospel weekly while rarely talking about Jesus outside church walls. What follows is a testimony of spiritual awakening sparked through prayer, repentance, and deep conviction that eventually led him to step away from a “dream job” in ministry and into a missionary posture within the American church. The conversation explores themes of spiritual hunger, presence-based leadership, prayerful dependence on the Holy Spirit, and the dangers of consumer-driven Christianity. Rev. Reynolds also describes the heart and mission behind Spirit and Truth Weekends, where churches are invited to slow down, seek God together, and practice everyday obedience through prayer, testimony, and simple acts of evangelism.
